What were they smoking when thinking up the script? 3/10 + 0.44 because of Char = 3.44/10 = 3/10 They created such a great character and just let her join the harem... Such a waste. you must be stupid, houki ending was like 100% super obvious. what have you been smoking? I agree, Houki was the MAIN FEMALE character... How is a Houki ending (TO THE ANIME, NOT THE LN) shocking??? This reminds me of Toradora: |
| Well, it was good for me, nothing concret, but liked the harem and the battle in the final. I thought that it could end in something with Houki, still we can't asume anything because the LN still continues (but still he will end with Houki). 8/10 |
| Main girl my ass....I call ASS PULL, what fucking Main Female Character spends 9 fucking episodes as a pointless background character....this was a very shitty "main" girl has to win, no matter how fucking stupid. People had hopes that maybe this show would be different, considering Charlotte had 5 fucking episodes of her development with ichika |
| What rubbish. 3/10. |
| the best part of the ep was when Cecilie was laughing like a maniac at the end |
     |
| I dropped this at episode 3 and I come to check out the last episode to see that it hasn't gotten any better : / What a horrible anime. |
 |
| this show was ok i dont really watch mecha or anything related to battles etc. but when he was about to kiss houki i was saying "awwww" then the cock block bunch showed up and cannot accept he didnt want them and i ended this series with an annoyed feeling. lol |
| - Marissa Chan! |
| Personally I enjoyed this series (of the ones I watched) final battles could've been a little better. I would like to know exactly what was the deal with the *Do you want power thing?* Sounded like a contract being agreed to. But hey you'll never get 100% agreement. Its entertainment. I mean if you don't like it don't watch it, haters gonna hate |
| Fight scene with last boss was pretty good, but this whole ep seemed kinda rushed. The ending was also pretty weak. Why Houki? I was really hoping for my pseudo-yaoiCharles ending after all that development she had with him in the middle of the series. Better be some improvements if they're gonna make a second season. |
 |
| I'm super disappointed with this show, these last few episodes were just painful to sit through. I'll give it bonus points for avoiding the open-ended harem ending though :/ |
| If houki was main "female" character then she would have more screen time in opening and in main time, but from all harem only lin had shortest screen time. imo animators become too lazy to draw Natasha Philas and we have ending like this shit. and ichika's inner world was cool, so many representatives of himself (i mean oak) |
| sorry, but my english is bad |
| Generic and predictable, but fun to watch at the same time...for me anyways. To think Ichika could avoid all those blasts at the end, while carrying Houki 8/10 |
 |
| 7/10 This anime was a fun ride when it wasn't taking itself seriously and was just about mechs and harem jellyness. When it got to the forced cliche drama, it turned to crap. I think I'd place Houki as my #1 disliked Tsundere. |
 |
| good anime 9/10 from me i got much fun from this anime |
 |
| The best part of this episode is Charlotte saying "Ichika, what are you doing?" Seriously, the entire abstract Ichika dream thing was so poorly done I just skipped it... I assumed it wasn't important to the plot anwyays. |
 |
| Ended pretty fast, a well overall is was good but the ending sort of felt odd since things will never change... I give it 7/10. |
 |
| Fuck, this wasn't a Houki ending at all. This was a stupid harem ending. Episode was shit like i thought after ep11. Also, stupid Ichika for saying Houki looks better with tied-up hair. |

I don't see how your brain would interpret that as me saying I was shocked by the ending. |
| That was so bad. Just terrible. I mean really, Ichika talking to some IS god in his coma? The fuck? Mysterious white haired girl? Really? And then the end of the show was just terrible. Fuck kind of cockblock was that? I would've smacked them bitches for that. It's a damn fucking shame 8bit wasted their talent doing CGI battles for this kind of retarded show. 5/10 |
 |
LadyOrihime said: Wow, they did go with a Houki ending? I'm shocked, since the LN's aren't finished  But I about died laughing when Cecilia shot at Ichika before he could kiss Houki. Loved Rin and Cecilia being all yandere  Me to xD |
| Who was the white haired girl, looked like a kanade clone XD Hm, all in all the plot was dumb, but I enjoyed this way more than other shows this season, so 8/10 for this... houki ending ftw.. sucks that their kiss got interrupted...so cliche |
 |
| I guess it must've been Houki's sis that made that one IS go crazy. That is what Ichika's sis said, right? :P I really wanted Char to be with Ichika! She's the best! :D Good anime, but could've been better! 7/10 |
| HOLY SHIT THAT ANIMATION and soundtrack during the fight. Other than that, I was thinking they'd go with Houki there for a moment, but we got the typical harem ending - which was expected, so no disappointment there. The beserk Gospel IS machine was simply Tabane's way to make Houki "debut"? I was thinking we'd get a second season with a serious plot and everything, lulz. Well, I for one really enjoyed this anime. I liked all of the girls and it had some great action. |

| RUINED. I FOR ONCE THOUGHT HE'D GET WITH THE ONE USING A KISS. RUINED, THEY RUINED ALL OF IT. I HATE THIS ANIME. I HATE IT. |
| Well at least Houki win the last round 5/10 |
 |
| Had all of the episodes been like this one sans the harem aspect this would have been the the top anime this season. I would have preferred Char but Houki is fine too. |
| Let's see... Fighting was meh. Random dream thingy with Ichika was ??? Open ending but Houki stands out more. She got blocked at the last minute... FFS. Houki <3 |
 |
| 1/10 But hey, at least it won a prize to take home... |
 If he's not with us, he's AGAINST us!!! |
| This episode was interesting tho i have to say it was to serious for this Anime especially the first part it was like watching a opera with a stand up comedian in it. The first half was just out of place. Ichika made some progress tho he sees Houki as the opposite sex well sort of and there was even almost a kiss till he got interrupted. The last few scenes where also a bit vague and seemed/where the scenes we saw at the start of this Anime. The vagueness was in the unexpected power boosts and the good cooperation all of a sudden. The there was also the explanations of the big sisters afterwards. The Anime itself was decent for the most part tho had some contradicting features in the last few episodes and then there is off course the dumb male lead who didn't get any of the hints of the girls around him. Tho this is usual in harem Anime, the ending was also pretty usual for a harem Anime since he didn't really pick a girl till the end tho Houki scored some points in the end. All in all it was pretty enjoying to watch. |
| Alternate name for this would be BS : Bullshit 3/10 - And I'm even being generous. Just another boring harem with lame mecha. |
| Well, it obviously wasn't the best mecha anime out there. The soundtracks were probably the best thing about the whole series Overall 6/10 for me~ |
     |
| Does anyone even understand what is going on anymore? LOl I pretty much gave up on the plot in this episode when that girl with the hat showed up |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| the LN is a whole lot better than this. The anime was pretty average 6/10 |

alexcampos said: This reminds me of Toradora: I agree with this. Toradora popped in my mind too when thought about the ending. That was the last thing that was so predictable. Tenchi_Ryu said: The is like Shuffle ALL OVER AGAIN If it would be Shuffle again, Charlotte would have won. Given alexcampos said: I feel so bad for Youko Hikasa, she's so Awesome as Mio, but every other character is fucking retarded, generic, and below average. I strongly disagree. Mio was the worst character she ever played. Well maybe I'm biased because I hate K-on!, but still: Mio was never a good character, because she's plain. Just like Houki (no, she's not a good character either). Shino and Maya were Youko's best roles so far. Boy, you guys are really butthurt. The ending was so predictable from the start of the series. Houki was strikingly cast aside from the main cast since episode 2 and there were many-many little hints predicting a Houki end. Still: it's not a Houki end, it's an open ending. All you pissed off shippers should rejoice, because the open ending hints a sequel where you can drool over your favourite character again. But it's probably going to be a Houki end. He really didn't react to other girls (besides from freaking out and blushing), but he WANTED to kiss Houki on his own. That was the only moment throughout the series, when I felt that he resembled a guy. I still think he might be gay for a male Charlotte though... The whole anime was predictable since the first episode until it's very end. The only surprise for me was when they utterly ruined Laura's character at the end of episode 6 (or 7, can't remember), and I'm still mad about it. But I got what I came for: bad jokes, harem, decent amounts of fanservice. The battle was nice too, I would have liked such battles every episode. The best characters were undoubtly Chifuyu and Laura (before the butchering of her character). A 7/10 from me, since it didn't fail to entertain me, it was living up to my expectations. BTW: Who were the girls in the dream-sequence? |

| The final battle wasn't that bad. The Houki ending was unexpected for me. I was expecting a non-pick ending. It was a good ending though. Cecilia's look at the end was priceless and her shooting before the kiss was just great. I'm gonna give this a 7/10 because ecchi, mecha, and harem all appeal to me. |
  |
| shit anime is shit GODZILLA FACE PALM one of the worst anime of 2011 |
 I signed my screen and now its all smeary "When you meet your God tell him to leave me alone." check out my bloghttp://corpse69.wordpress.com/ fix MAL already |
| I can't seriously can't concentrate while watching this in Himado.it is funny till the end. Overall this is an interesting Anime to watch and I am not regret on that ^^ |
| CHAR FOR THE WIN. :) I just don't understand the part where chifuyu was talking to tabane about setting up ichika in the exams. -_- well, i'll give it 8/10 because of char and laura. :3 about all the questions to who is the girl in the dream of ichika... |

| I liked the final battle, and good, a harem where we actually know who the lead will hook up with, now a season 2, for more battles and bring Houki closer to Ichika and I will be happy. I have not seen that many butt hurt girls since Love Hina. And I have never seen this many butt hurt fans(okay once, with Kannagi) Oh and I think the white haired girl was his IS, something about it reviving him and everything. A bit bs, but a fun series. |
| My anime list |
| no idea on the random girl during Ichika's dream. I was dreading the lame ending so I put off watching it. stupid battle orchestrated by Houki's sister. stupid focus on Houki when she had been worthless most of the series. I also do not believe for a minute Ichika's dense ass was going to chose her. he would have dragged it out way longer and then probably said he wasn't interested in anyone but his sister. yeah you saw the way he looked at her. still hope for a 2nd season for more Char and Laura. more Cecilia would be nice to. Ichika not being an idiot would be nice too. I sighed when he gave the typical shonen response .... "I want power to protect my comrades". come on dude.... you really had no interest in any of them? to sum it up, Char + Laura = PRO TIER. CECILIA = GOOD TIER. RIN = OK TIER HOUKI = FORCED TIER. I still liked the characters enough to give it a 7-8/10. the random Gundam like dream/understanding sequences were very lame too. keep it in Gundam.... |
